Ok, Xpm support symbolic colors: you give arbitrary name and at
load time you use the XpmColorSymbol structure to define the
colors. An implementation should fix some symbolic names. CDE
use: iconColor1, iconColor2, ..., iconColor8, iconGray1, ...,
iconGray8, topShadowColor, SelectColor, selectColor, Background,
bottomShadowColor.

So what we want is a new config cmd (or some styles??)

SymbolicColors iconColor1 a_color, ..., bottomShadowColor a_color

The major problem here is that this command should be dynamic.
